REGIONAL: Hard times for Seattle-area voucher housing

The Seattle-based King County Housing Authority recently won back $755,000 of a $3.5 million cut in its Section 8 housing voucher funding -- but that wasn't enough. Today the agency announced it would be cutting "more than 4,000 low-income households" from its voucher waiting list. The announcement quotes director Stephen Norman as saying, "we cannot, in good conscience, continue to offer false hope to households who are waiting in line for assistance." The top 1,000 households have been left on the list in case something opens up, but that likely won't be any time this year.

So what's happening with housing waiting lists elsewhere in the country? Anyone else got a story to tell?
